Application iled'September 2, 1915. Serial No. 48.649.

meut-Holder, ot' which the following is a i'ull. clear. and exact description.

(ur invention relates to a double-chz`1mber condiment holder, from either ot' which chambers an ingredient can be dispensed without dischargingr from the other chamlier.

The object ot' the invention is to provide a simple. strong and inexpensive condiment holder havingr two independent concentric chambers refillable irom opposite ends.

lViththe above and other objects in view, the nature ot' which will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement ot' parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In the :wcompanying drawings, forming part ot the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is an elevation of our condiment holder; Fig. 2 is a verti'al section therethrough; Fig. 3 is a plan view, a portion of the top ot' the Qondiment holder being broken away to show the details of construction; Fig. et is a similar view showing the means controlling the outlet of the chambers in a different position; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan view on the top of the holder, partly in section to show the details ot' construction.

I Referring to the drawings, the outer container G is preferably "formed of two metal sections T and 8. The, upper section 7 is frustocone shape and engages the lower section 8 with its larger endby rolling the end t) of the section 7 against tiange 1() of the section 8. The tiange 1() 1s bent outwardlyfrom the edge of the section 8, which is preferably a portion of a sphere havingan extended collar 11 undulated to form a thread and 4co-axial with the section '7. collar l1l forms the opening through which the container 6 can be filled. A plug 12 is threaded into the collar and forms the base oi the holder. The upper, smaller end of the section 7 is enlarged to form an apertured head v13, the top of which slopes.

An inner container 14 is suspended Within The' the outer containerl from the top by means ot' a sleeve 15, the lower edge 1G ot' which projects through the apertnred head 12S and is rolled to engage the inwardly directed edge ot' the upper section 1T`of the inner container and maintain the same againstthe top ot' the head 13 ot the outer container.

VV1`he upper section 1l' ot' the inner container is also frustoconc shape. and its larger end 1S is rolled against the flange 19 of the lower semi-spherical section 2t). The engagement of the sleeve 15 with the head closes the outer container at the upper end, while it leaves the inner container open at the top. A thimble 2l covers the projecting sleeve 15 on which it is prevented from turningr by in\\'ardly-directed indentures 22 and 23 respectively, the said indentures allowing the thimble to be pulled oii or forced upon the sleeve.

A perforated cover 24 is mounted on the sldping top. It has a portion 25 bent over the head. which prevents thc cover lfrom shppmg ott, although it is free tot urn. The top has a collar 26 which projects above the head 13 and which surrounds the. lateral surface of the thimble 21. Thecollar is undulated to form a thraid on to which a cap 27 can be threaded. rlhe cap is connected to the thimble lv' a rivet 28 which connects the two together and allows the cap to turn on the thim'ble, whereby when the cap is screwed on or oil' it carries therewith the thimble without turning the same. The purpose ot' this is to maintain the'proper relation between openings 2*.) in the cap and openings 3() in the thimble. The sloping top of the head 13 has also apertures S31 adapted t0 register with pertorations 32 in the' cover 24. The movement ot' the cover on the top is limited by a pin $323 secured to thev head 13 and protruding through a slot 331 in the cover. The slot is so related to the openings in the head and cover and in the cap and thirnble that when it is in the position shown in Fig. l the openings 25() are in register' with the openings 2S); that is to say,4 ingredients may be dispensed t'roni the inner container 14, but when the coveris moved to tnevposition shown in Fig. 4, the openings 3U and 29 are out ot' register, while the openings 31 and 32 are in register, thereby ingredients may be dispensed from the outer container 'and not from the inner.

In order to give a preponderance of ety weight to the condiment holder at the b0t-" to constitute the bottom surface of the shell lauction 8 whenthe plug l2 is in place.

We claim.: l

1. A condiment holder comprising-an outer container opening at the bottom and having an. apertured top, an vinterior container open at the top suspended wit-hin the outer container through the aperture in the top, a plug closing the bottom of the outer container and forming the Loase of the holder, a perforated thinihle covering the open top of theinner container, a cover having perforations fitting over the top of the, outer container, saidjtolirhaving perforations adapted to register with the perforations of the cover, and' a cap detachable from the cover and having perforations ada pteil to reg-iste; with the perorations in the thimhle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. I

2. A condirnent holder comprisingan outer container open at the bottom and havw ing an apertured enlarged top, an. interior container open at the top suspended Within the outer container, a sleeve ysecuring the top of. the linner ontainer to the. top of the outer container inm1e aperture in the top, a pen forated thinble fitting on the sleeve, said. thimhle and sleevevhaving means preventingthe thimble from turning on the sleeve but allowing the thimlole to be pulled off or forced upon the sleeve, a cover mounted 'to turn on the top of the outer container, said ,detaohahiy aseoeiatcd with the collar holder, said top of the outer container havv ing peroratione adapted to register with the perloratons in the cover and Said cap having,r perfor-ations adapted to register with the perfor-ations in the thimhle.

3. A condiinent holder (.:oin}')risi11g,-an outer compartment open at the bottom and having an apertured enlarged top, an inte` rior container open at the top, a sleeve Securing the top of the inner container to the top of the outer container atv the aperture thereof, whereby said inner container is suspended Within the outer container and whereby the youter container is closed at the top, a perforated thimble fitting over the sleeve where-by the inner container is closed at the top, cooperating n.ieanson the sleeve and thiinhle preventing rheturning of the thimhle on the sleeve but allowing an axial movement of the thimhle upon the sleeve, a perforated cover mounted to turn on the top of the outer container but prevented from axial displacement, ,means limiting the movement of said cover on the top of the outer container, a collar associated with said cover and sui'roun(lingn the thirnlfle, a cap hut ada.:rh fao. to'partcipate in the. movement of the cover on. the top, means Securing the cap tothe thimhle so that the cap is. tree to turn ontV e thhnhle, said cap adapted to remove the thiinhle over the Sleeve when .the cap is detached from the cover, said cap having. pei-felations adapted to. registerwith the perforations in the thilnble, the top of the outer container having perforations adapted to register with the perforations in the cover, an d a plug for the opening in the bob. toni of the outer container forming a hase vfor the holder.
